More on planning with no estate tax

It looks like we're heading toward some major health insurance law changes, which may free up some of Congress' time to deal with our estate tax problem--if they do nothing, capital gains taxes (this year) and a large estate tax (next year) will affect a lot more people than they ever have before.

While we're waiting for some action, your current trust and/or will may not deal with the situation very well, including having some unintended consequences like disinheriting people you actually like.

This letter from Jan Copley and I explains it a bit further: letter to clients posted at Jan Copley/Russakow Ryan Johnson website.

We'll be reviewing a lot of estate plans over the next few months here at RRJ, and I'd be happy to review yours as well, so please feel free to call.
